    You may remember Jeffrey James from the Postmodern Jukebox "Steal My Girl" cover, filmed back in 2015 -- since then, he's found lots of success as both a singer and a songwriter, and we caught up the other day to record a soulful version of one of his own favorite songs: Go West's 1990 hit from the "Pretty Woman" soundtrack, "King Of Wishful Thinking."

    I'm happy this song is still remembered. It was so of its time. Late 80s were a very fun time for music.

    My god, his voice… It’s pretty much a perfect voice for a male singer. Just the right amount of high, lows and everything else in between.

    Holy cow, King of Wishful Thinking was the hit on the radio when I got a dual 8-track recorder at home lol for 1990 my mixtapes were huge.

    Like Sara Bareilles take on "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" -- this is a great take on a familiar song which changes the mood and character and makes it a different piece.
    I lost someone close almost 15 years ago. It took almost 5 years to get over their death, and this rendition expresses how I still feel.
    I will never stop missing him.

    Incredible performance! It is a whole different song now! In the original version, the singer is telling his ex that he doesn’t need her anymore. In this version he sounds like he is trying to convince himself. Just wonderful.

    • @hutchmusician
      @hutchmusician Před 8 měsíci

      It’s a song which self-consciously references wishful thinking. How could you think the original didn’t have the exact same sentiment?

      King of wishful thinking is part of the soundtrack. Nobody was quite clear or explicit on that
